Dynamic404 Features
A vital SEO-tool for every Joomla site
Optimized error-pages
Dynamic404 allows you to optimize the look-and-feel of your 404-pages. The default behaviour is to take the error-box of Joomla! (the file error.php) and enhance it with a search-link and page suggestions.
Page suggestions
When a 404-error is encountered, most likely the URL still contains valuable information about what the correct URL should have been. Dynamic404 analyses this information, and is able to generate a list of page suggestions. Each suggestion is given a matching percentage. The match with highest percentage is listed first.
Redirect automatically with a 301-status
Instead of just showing a list of suggestions, Dynamic404 is also able to redirect to the best possible match. This way, your visitors never encounter a 404-error, but will be redirected to the right page with a HTTP Status 301 (other 30x codes can be configured).
Error-pages with template styling
Instead of using the normal error-box, you can also create a new Menu-Item pointing to the Dynamic404-component. This allows you to re-use your Joomla! template and assign modules to the error-page.
Fuzzy logic or manual redirects
Dynamic404 uses a complex fuzzy logic to determine which database-entries offer the best alternative to the not-found-page. If the built-in automatic search does not work for a specific 404, you can always add your own manual rules.
Fix URL typos made by your cutsomers
All 404-entries are logged and can be inspected from the backend. This way you can detect typos in the URL. Instead of giving your customers a 404-error, you can lead them directly to the right page.
Shortening URLs for marketing
Knowing that 404-errors can actually be turned into usable 301-redirects, you can optimize your marketing by using your own short URL schema. Why use services like tinyurl.com and bit.ly if you could generate your own short URLs (example: http://yireo.com/d404).
Support for third party extensions
Dynamic404 offers - besides the support for the Joomla! core - plugins for integration with FLEXIcontent, K2, ZOO, SimpleLists, MageBridge, Ninjaboard and VirtueMart. If you need an extra plugin, we build it.
